[SOLVED] store my VM in local-lvm

[cazz]

Not sure what to do so I have to ask here
I have create a new server that run proxmox
Proxmox is store on a Hardware RAID 5 and I going to store my VM on same RAID.
When I now create a VM and when is time to tell where to store I only get local to pick.
Problem is that local only have 100 GB and local-lvm have 1.2 TB.

So I need to do something and I guess you can't store VM in local-lvm??
Then I need to rezise local-lvm and make local bigger but how and is that the best idea?

What does your /etc/pve/storage.conf look like?
What is the output of : pvs , vgs, lvs

based on the output from your storage.conf file - "local" can only be used for ISO, backups and container templates.
The local-lvm is where you should be allowed to store VM storage (images) and container root filesystems.

If local-lvm is not showing up as available storage for VM creation, try to restart helper daemons:
systemctl restart pvestatd pveproxy pvedaemon

What you described in the opening post is the the exact opposite of what should be happening for the operation you mentioned.
